Hakone

Located less than 100 kilometres from Tokyo, Hakone is famous for its onsen (hot springs) and its scenic location. Views of Lake Ashi and nearby Mount Fuji abound and are just part of the reason this is such a popular destination for Japanese and international tourists alike.

We will be staying at a ryokan (Japanese Inn), where we will be able to experience sleeping in a futon on traditional Japanese tatami mats.
